Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Slight slowing of gastric emptying in older adults after ingestion of large meals leads to early sensations of fullness. Gallstone symptoms include pain, not fullness. An emergent visit to the health care provider is not indicated.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Diuretics decrease saliva, olfactory function, and gustatory functioning. Women have better olfactory and gustatory function than men; exercise increases appetite. Obesity is unrelated.
